Whenever I put a google search down, and see one page of Pinterest on there I immediately go back to the search box and go for; “-site:pinterest.*”. I absolutely hate that site with a passion.

Even though I have the app and an account, I still despise using it. They break things like zoom and saving images. Clicking on something interesting takes you to…a site that doesn’t actually have that.

I truly don’t understand how Pinterest is so popular when it’s also so awful. Tumblr was so much better until Verizon destroyed it with management incompetence.

Unpinterested is an extension do do this automatically
Is there a Google option to perma-ban a domain?

Maybe a place I can upload a HOSTS file?

Or an extension that adds this to every search?

There is: uBlacklist[1]. I've been searching for the exact same thing to get rid of Indian tutorial scamsites, bad GitHub and StackOverflow clones and, of course, Pinterest results :) Can recommend.

You can try this extension. It was forked from a project once maintained and abandoned by Google themselves.
